    Yes, they made it unrestricted which means they’re charging you considering you can use it a lot. That’s what I mean. Using LLMs APIs isn’t free so it has a cost embedded, which they certainly calculated, or else they’d run the risk of it being abused.

    A lot of people don’t think about the cost of LLMs until they consider running a business on it. Both Apple and Samsung say their AI features are free “for now” but don’t say what’s gonna happen after because there’s a lot of uncertainty. They know OpenAI loses money even on paying users and would have to raise the prices a lot to make a profit but they can’t for now because there’s a lot of competition already. So the race will be for who will be standing when the competitors’ money run out.
